Hi all
I'm going away for awhile - my husband is starting his weight loss journey, and has settled on Slimming World. As an act of support and solidarity, I'm going to join him for a bit and see how things go. He's lost weight on Atkins before, but he LOVES fruit and has such a hard time being away from it (whereas, I'm not bothered about fruit in the slightest and don't miss it at all). He has a long way to go, while I'm at about my half-way point.
I know it means venturing away from certain principles of a low-carb diet, but I'll be trying to take some Atkins ideas with me (focus on protein and veg... less of everything else). Cooking and eating the same things will help us as a family - it's hard when everyone eats something different.
THANK YOU for all your support, and I'll certainly be back if things go badly over in SW-land. Take care, and good luck on your journeys! :wave_cry:
